They're thinking that you NEED to fly.

Most people who buy tix at the last minute NEED to fly...it's the ones who look for the cheap fares months in advance who just "want" to fly that aren't profitable.

According to Orbitz, for departures between 4 & 8pm tomorrow, B6 is $93 and all the others are $437. So why not fly B6?
